We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Genius Academy!<\/p>\n

Genius Academy<\/a>\u00a0is an upcoming educational portal where users can learn about crypto, blockchain, DeFi, and more. Being a part of the broader Genius Yield ecosystem, the Genius Academy arms readers with the necessary toolsets by availing in-depth articles for users to better grasp the increasingly sophisticated and dynamic crypto and DeFi ecosystems. This way, they can confidently leverage blockchain-led solutions presented by dependable DeFi protocols or cryptocurrency networks like Cardano as they inch closer to financial autonomy.<\/p>\n

Regardless of experience in crypto and blockchain, Genius Academy users will learn about DeFi concepts like DEX, NFTs, curving bonds, liquidity pools, order books, concentrated liquidity, oracles, and much more. The academy will use its experienced team to create easy-to-consume DeFi, crypto, and blockchain content, thereby helping promote adoption. This mirrors Genius Yield\u2019s objective of making DeFi solutions easy to utilize and blockchain technology, often wrapped in complex jargon, understandable for everyday users.<\/p>\n

Strengthening user education is necessary for fast-tracking the uptake of DeFi and crypto solutions in the real world. According to a research\u00a0study<\/a>, by the close of 2021, there were less than 300 million unique crypto wallets, representing a 178 percent jump from 2020. Although the numbers are impressive, there was\u00a0less than two percent<\/a>\u00a0of crypto acceptance in payments, despite substantial interest among online retailers to adopt digital assets. Researchers picked out fear related to volatility and asset security and the steep learning curve in crypto as obstacles slowing adoption. The Genius Academy is at the forefront of addressing the latter problem by availing a simple-to-use educational platform where users can, at any time, learn and grow their cryptocurrency and blockchain knowledge.<\/p>\n

The Genius Academy is initially launching with over 70 articles, guides on DeFi, NFTs, and blockchain, and videos covering essential cryptocurrency-related topics. Genius Academy will gradually add more articles and courses on various topics, mainly in DeFi and crypto. Three reputable experts in\u00a0Dr. Lars Brunjes<\/a>, who holds a Ph.D. in pure mathematics from the University of Regensburg in Germany and is an expert in Haskell and Plutus programming languages;\u00a0Christopher Fox<\/a>, a Ph.D. holder who helps financial innovators shine as thought leaders, and\u00a0Loic Staub<\/a>, a Swiss attorney-at-law and a Regulatory Leaser at JayBee who has been active in the crypto field since 2016, will be part of the Genius Academy program. Dr. Lars is the Genius Yield Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and works on several scientific topics in IOG, the lead developer of the Cardano blockchain.<\/p>\n

Commenting, Dr. Lars Brunjes said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to help with the launch of the Genius Academy and its mission of educating the rapidly growing crypto base. This platform complements the broader objectives of the Genius Yield, an all-in-one platform democratizing DeFi. I\u2019ll actively participate in this program as one of the Academy\u2019s experts, sharing my knowledge on Plutus and Haskell.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Genius Academy has broad plans of becoming a leading crypto and blockchain educational platform. Towards this grand goal, it acknowledges the importance of striking valuable collaboration with established institutions with whom they share similar goals. This is why the Genius Academy is partnering with the PSL University (Paris Sciences & Lettres), an umbrella bringing together 11 ivy-league universities and engineering schools in France.<\/p>\n

In addition, Genius Academy works with several companies such as Emurgo Academy to explore synergies and provide our audiences with ever better content.<\/p>\n
